Microstudio 3.001

[George]

Everything working well here with one exception.

I believe MTU has the TITLE and ARTIST NAME working backwards, as all imports are being listed in my songlist ARTIST NAME FIRST, which could get to be a big pain in looking for a title. I never consider the artist when looking for a track in my songlist.

Other than that, can see no problems...the glitch is gone.

A word to the wise. There has been a bug plaguing MTU the install shield for ages now. MTU has spent hours tring to track it down. What happens is once in awhile when a MTU product installs, it knocks out other MTU programs. This only happens to some..The beast is active again. Here, all four other MTU products were knocked out both with 3000 and now 3001.

Had I not had everything well backed up I would not be back here in 15 minutes with everything working.

If you do not back up your MTU folders, you have no one to blame but yourself if you have a hassle re-installing everything. MTU has stressed back it up, back it up, back it up, before you install.

I can't find the post but the MTU guys came up with a solution to the install problem that seems to work. Its a bit risky as requires registry editing. Uninstall all the MTU programs, delete program folders (be sure to back up and/or move any song and database files you want to keep), edit the registry to remove any keys concerning those programs. In other words a clean slate.

The thought is that this is a left-over from an earlier install-shield version. I haven't tried it yet but I am going to do it soon just to see if it works.
